The Price of Survival


Recommended Posts

I was of course happy that the three stranded climbers on Mt. Hood made it home with no real harm.

Rory and I have had a long chat, me telling him that he needs to be more like Velvet the four-year-old Labrador retriever. He is taking it under consideration!!

When I looked at my MSN Homepage I seen the story :The Price of Survival from Newsweek.

Have to admit it got the little gray cells working!!

While I feel sure that Mt. Hood is not ever going to be on my list of things I ever want to do (Far to cold!!) I'm both pleased and grateful that there are groups like the National Mountain Rescue Association, and State Agencies that do come out and are there when needed.

I know at times I can be a little unkind to some of the members of groups like this and even more local groups like our volunteer firemen.

I'm not sure if there is such a thing on the books but a volunteer Appreciation day seems like a good idea.

Heck -I'd be in favor of replacing Black History Month with Volunteer Appreciation Month.

Ea.
